Hundreds of thousands of 16th Century manuscripts were smuggled out of Timbuktu, Mali, to save them from the jihadists that have plagued that country. Unfortunately, the manuscripts are now in danger from water damage and other problems caused by the fact that the group that saved them, Libraries in Exile, needs funding to properly store the rescued documents

There's an IndieGoGo crowdfunding effort set up that has a few hours left to go, and a Guardian article about the effort here.

Please help save a bit of irreplaceable history!
